Because you guys suggested I put my Twelve Days of Christmas post to music, I obliged. Now, here's your fair warning. I can't sing. I mean, I really can't sing. I'm aware of the fact that I can't sing which makes me different than the losers who audition for American Idol thinking that they're really good when in reality, they sound like they're dying. I know I sound like a cat being tortured when I try to sing, especially if I try to sing without any music! If you choose to watch this video, I will not be held responsible for any hearing loss, nausea, or uncontrollable twitching that may occur. Consider yourselves warned.

You're funny! The days that are the most hectic and stressful I can almost always come to this blog and get a laugh. Now, I am not laughing at your voice. I am laughing at what your children gave you! Sounds a lot like my house minus the diapers.

That was AWESOME! Thanks for doing that. Wow. You REALLY CAN DO IT ALL can't you? I'm impressed with your video editing skills - nice! I will say that your "dirty bathroom" is cleaner than mine ever is! You rock!

Oh I so want to see the blooper reel now -- tomorrow's post? ;) Great video... I want to know how much fun the kids had being ASKED to whine. And why you didn't choose Austin and Savannah's noses to wipe ;)

Oh, and if Clay really wants a mouse... he can come get the one in our attic. *sigh* I just heard him scritching away.

Aww... you are adorable and so is your family! Merry Christmas to you all! Btw... are you feeling better? You sounded congested poor girl. *hug* I hope you're doing much better and thanks for the wonderful video! :D

Nicely done!I have to ask, the kids actually left you alone for the whole 4 minutes and 22 seconds. I'm impressed. I would have thought they would have barged in claiming that some wild animal snuck in and clogged the toilet. Hehe :)

Loved it! Your voice is fine - sorry but you won't make the American Idol bad list. Ok - you probably wont win either, but its nicely in the listenable region. Now - how much fun did the kids have making this with you??? I loved the 6 whiny voices. Great job to all of you and what a welcome relief from the standard holiday music.

I am new from Megryansmom site! I loved the video!!! I also have waaaay too many kids (7) and feel your pain! I am just so impressed that you could remember all that. I can barely remember all their names....

haha, i have a similar voice, but I am lucky to also possess a tin ear, so you and I both sound fine to me:) My darling husband was nice enough to tell me I can't hold a key to save my life--not that I would have tried for American Idol, but I didn't know I couldn't sing.

This is much more pertinent than the original version, and more welcome too. You have to know that those laying geese would leave more than eggs behind and you'd have more than bathrooms and laundry to clean. The lords, pipers and drummers would mean an additional 33 men in your house. Much MORE bathroom cleaning, not to mention fights over the remote control.

How great! Love it! By the way...has anyone ever told you that you sound like Kirstie Alley?? And just to be clear, that IS a compliment...I think she is great, just as I think you are! Thanks for this blog!

This was great!My kids watched it with me and had this to say of the drawings of you.."it's a PICKLE" "it's a BANANA!" "nope, it's a zuchini!"And at the laundry part my 7 year old looked at me and said, "that looks just like you!" LOL All I kept thinking was that your "dirty" bathroom looked way too clean! Good job!

Okay, I'll admit, I twitched uncontrollably through the whole video. Twitched with laughter, that is! You are great! Stayed on key and you look fabulous! I wish I could be out of my pjs before noon, and have my hair fixed before bedtime! You're amazing.

I love how you wipe the kids' noses with the same tissue. LOL! I totally would have done that in real life!

I was going to twitter this to you but i figured it would be WAY more than those lovely 140 characters ... My youngest daughter was able to catch the fact that you have the same monkey hangy thing in your bathroom as she does. And my middle son sang the song adding "on the wall" everytime you said and a lovely picture of me ...LOL too cute!

Great, I haven't been able to stop singing "… 4 dirty diapers, …" all day long - people on the subway were staring at me.But seriously, what a great video! And you look just fantastic; very mediterranean too, but you've probably heard that before.

my favorite part is you wiping the kids' noses with the same tissue! i've totally done that before. besides, they're all going to get the cold anyway, so why not just help along the inevitable - in your time.
